On July 19th, 2021, Sonja Lang has released an additional official toki pona
|
|
|
|
|
book, "[Toki Pona Dictionary](https://www.amazon.com/dp/0978292367)" (also known
|
|
|
|
|
as "ku" or "lipu ku"). This book provides translations from English to toki pona
|
|
|
|
|
and vice versa for a whole lot of words, compiled from a community poll ran on
|
2021-07-19 16:59:11 +03:00
|
|
|
the toki pona community in 2020-2021, and officially introduces 61 additional
|
|
|
|
|
words to the language for a total of 181 "nimi ku". While most of these words
|
|
|
|
|
are rarely used in the community, there are 17 extra "nimi ku suli" words that
|
|
|
|
|
have been deemed frequent and important enough to be listed separately. This
|
|
|
|
|
page shall cover these new words.

The words "namako", "kin" and "oko" were listed as synonyms for "sin", "a" and
|
|
|
|
|
"lukin" respectively in *lipu pu*. However, in the community, these words have
|
|
|
|
|
somewhat different meanings:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "sin" typically means "new", "namako" typically means "additional" or "extra".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "kin" is used at the end of sentences for "also" or "too". "a" does not have
|
|
|
|
|
such a specific usage.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "oko" specifically means "eye", while "lukin" also means "vision" and "to
|
|
|
|
|
see".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The words "kipisi", "leko", "monsuta" and "misikeke" have existed before *lipu
|
|
|
|
|
pu*, but both were, and still are, actively used in the community.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The rest are specifically newly-added words. Two of these, "kijetesantakalu" and
|
|
|
|
|
"ku", were added by Sonja Lang herself -- the former as a "joke word" that was
|
|
|
|
|
well-received by the community and the latter as the name for the second
|
|
|
|
|
official toki pona book.
